Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our engineering application process and culture.

Our review process is fast and developer-centric: 1) Initial application review by our Tech Lead (within 48 hours), 2) 45-minute technical architecture discussion with a Principal Engineer, and 3) Paid 3-day async trial task on a real microservice module. Zero whiteboarding puzzles or trivia.
We operate on clear written documentation, GitHub PR reviews, and Slack/Linear async workflows. You set your own local work hours. We evaluate engineers purely on shipped code quality, architectural rigor, and velocity.
All full-time engineers receive a brand-new M3 Max MacBook Pro (or custom Linux workstation), $3,000 annual learning stipend for certifications/conferences, and unlimited access to our dedicated H100 GPU compute clusters for AI R&D.
Salaries are benchmarked against top 10% Silicon Valley remote rates. Performance and compensation are reviewed semi-annually with transparent equity options and profit-sharing bonuses from internal product launches.
